FLAC compression levels question(s)
Smilin_Jim:
Folks, I am not trying to throw Acura under the bus. But, if you want to listen to FLAC surround files in it, encode them at Level 0. That's all.
And if that is the case for the Acura, maybe it is the solution for other Atom and similar light CPUs that can't seem to recognize FLAC files when they say they do.
RoderickGI:
I just laugh and laugh reading the defence of the Acura's media system.
Auto manufacturers just need to tick the boxes. Does it have an infotainment/media/stereo system with Bluetooth connections and a touch screen? Yes. Tick.
Does it work well and as expected? Who cares? We ticked the box!
It is all just "Me too" marketing, even with the expensive brands.
Such systems often don't support Playlists, or only very specifc formats of Playlist. They often only support folder navigation to select what to play, and don't even support search or sorting of all media. Then they claim support for MP3, FLAC, WAV, etc., but that support is often very dodgy. Maybe the Acura does only support level 0 compression FLAC files, but if it does, that is just another failing of its media system.
I just laugh and laugh. ;D ;D ;D

For vehicle use I have found the most convenient way by far is to plug my Shanling M3s DAP into the after market Kenwood player via a 3.5mm jack. That way I can play the flac files with certainty and convenience. I use the DAP for FF, REW, Pause and VOL because I know where these analogue buttons are by feel.
The biggest problem with new tech decks in cars is that the idiot designers think we don't mind pulling over every time to make even the most minor adjustment - one simply CANNOT drive and search through a series of menus just to turn the bass down/up!
Bring back the bass and treble knobs I say!
Rant off....
